Payback Lyrics by Slayer

God Hates Us All

2001

[Verse 1]
You need to take a closer look at me
'Cause I was born to be the thorn in your side
No matter what you think, you're gonna see
You never wanted this barrage of fucking pride
You don't want none of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
When you draw first blood, you can't stop this fight
For my own peace of mind, I'm going to

[Chorus]
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were made to take the fall, now you're nothing
Payback's a bitch, motherfucker

[Verse 2]
You only live to be a parasite
Your life must suck when nothing's going your way
Everything melts away before your eyes
You're just a punk that doesn't have the sense to get away
Get the fuck away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
When you draw first blood, you can't stop this fight
For my own peace of mind, I'm going to

[Chorus]
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were made to take the fall, now you're nothing
Now you're nothing
Payback's a bitch, motherfucker

[Bridge]
I will never become your fucking scapegoat
I don't know how it feels to come up short
I only want vengeance
To come shining down on me
I don't want you to die
Before I get the chance to kill you myself

[Lead - King]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
This is for the mindfuck
This is for the hell of it
This is for me, I'm going to

[Chorus]
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were made to take the fall, now you're nothing

Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were made to take the fall, now you're nothing
Now you're nothing

[Outro]
You ain't fucking shit
